BACKHello Mighty Family! Did you know May is National Bike Month?! Biking is a great way to get outdoors and stay active. Every Friday this month I will discuss certain common questions surrounding biking and how to safely get started! The second question is: What are my bike helmet options? There are many types of helmets to choose from. Here are a few of the most common types **Recreational Bike Helmets**. When it comes to basic impact protection, recreational bike helmets are the most cost-effective option. Compared to other helmets, the strap and retention system are relatively easy to use and provide a more streamlined look for casual rides. **Road Bike Helmets** Road bike helmets are the most aerodynamic option available. The top options are lightweight and ventilated to keep your head cool. The helmet is secured to the rider with an adjustable retention chin strap. **Padding** is another essential feature of a road bike helmet. The pads help secure the helmet to your head, making it more secure and comfortable. The pads are removable, allowing for easy washing and drying. **Mountain Bike Helmets** A mountain bike helmet may be your most critical trail gear. Lightweight, well-ventilated helmets are the norm in modern helmet design. Because of the ventilation in these helmets, you are less likely to overheat as you ride through tough terrain on a hot summer day and are tougher and better suited to protecting riders on rougher surfaces or when traversing obstacles like rocks. It’s worth trying on a few different types and models to see which one feels the most comfortable because the only good bike helmet is the one you will wear! I hope you find these simple tips helpful in choosing a bike helmet! Stay tuned for next week where we’ll look at how to size and fit a bike helmet!
